PNNL and ORNL are working together on Digital Twins to modernize the U.S. hydropower plant fleet, which will reduce operating costs, improve reliability, reduce downtime, enhance grid resiliency, and reduce environmental impacts.
From global issues such as melting permafrost and the creation of alternate biofuels to matters affecting microbiomes and micro-sized life, PNNL research is featured in news publications worldwide.
By improving the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Solar model, this project aims to reduce forecast errors, improve sub-grid scale variability estimates, and more accurately estimate forecast uncertainty.
The Institute for Integrated Catalysis (IIC) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory explores and develops the chemistry and technology of catalyzed processes that enable a carbon-neutral future.
PNNL is heavily engaged in the development and use of mass spectrometry technology across its science, energy, and security missions, from fundamental research through mature operational capabilities.
PNNL's River Corridor Hydrobiogeochemistry Scientific Focus Area works to transform understanding of spatial and temporal dynamics in river corridor hydrobiogeochemical functions from molecular reaction to watershed and basin scales.
A software suite for working with neutron activation rates measured in a nuclear fission reactor, an accelerator-based neutron source, or any neutron field to determine the neutron flux spectrum using a generalized least-squares approach.
PNNL develops training, exercises, and assessments to prepare and equip border security officers to detect, identify, and interdict the illicit movements of materials, commodities, and components associated with WMD.
